Hello, I'm in a long distance relationship now. Just wanna ask, is it normal for a guy to leave his girlfriend's message on delivered for hours and then replying late? He says they had many workloads (he's an engineer) but I see my message on delivered on Messenger. I'm wondering if this is just an excuse or am I just crazy? I'll appreciate any opinions.
First guess: he is actually busy and needs time to focus and is trying hard to reply as much time as he have.
Second guess: he may be getting bored of you, but I'm not trying to make you sad. I appreciate your feelings and think positively. Some people these days hate other people for literally no reason at all (it happened to me once so I understand that) and it's his fault if this is really happening.
Third guess: he might be afraid to text back, shy, or lazy. I do that sometimes to my texts, I see them as a pop up notification but didn't have the audacity to reply, so I say "I'll reply later" myself. I'm sure people do that too.
THE SOLUTION: comfort him about it, and let him know how you feel

He’s probably super busy. I heard engineers get that way sometimes.
I think you are reading way too much into this scenario and you need to understand, not all people live their life by their phones.
The other thing is... how important was the message? Was it like, hey, I think there is someone snooping around my house, important? or was it, what did you think of that movie with blah, blah blah in it, or did you like the pink dress or the blue one?
If it wasn't important then who cares if he did not get back to you immediately.
If he doesn't answer just chalk it up to him being busy. There is more important things to do then spend 4 hours on the phone texting someone.
I will say this again, and again, and again... Long Distance Relationships are not real relationships... and yes you should be annoyed because you are really meeting regularly in real life... so if he leaving you hanging unanswered how do think this will ever work out.
Long Distance Relationships are relationships of convenance for a lot of people, it's just easier to manage on their own terms when it's convenient for them.

I would be very upset if left in undeliverable. What’s he up to?
I think they may just be busy
I dont know, maybe its just me, but I will not reply some times, or look at the message till I got what I need done, when its from someone I care about and want to give my full attantion
The not read helps to reminds its still waiting even if someone is tierdYes and no.
It can be several reasons.
Maybe he is asleep
Maybe he doesn't feel good
Maybe he is emotional about something
Maybe he is cheating
Maybe this and that. .
Before making assumptions.. go with ur gut / asking him
I would also advice to surprise him and see his reactionHe might actually be busy don't assume wait until you get in touch with him and talk to him see why he's leaving you on delivered and tell him you don't like it and see where it goes from there don't just assume the worst
Don't worry big mama, you'll find a new man
You lost me at long distance relationship
He’s off with the girlfriend on his arm.
